COVID-19 appeared in Wuhan (China) and spread rapidly to many places, generating a worldwide emergency, and causing concern throughout the health system due to its rapid transmission of contagion, leading to a confinement of all people. During the confinement, the lifestyle and eating habits of many people changed, potentially causing diabetes in themselves. This disease occurs when there is a high level of glucose in the blood and this can generate serious problems for the person, as there is no cure for diabetes, it is necessary for patients to control their glucose level, but for this purpose conventional glucometer equipment is used, which generates pain in patients as they introduce a needle into the finger and extract blood to measure glucose. In view of this problem, this article will develop a glucose meter system that does not require introducing a needle into the patient's finger since it will use the photoplestimographic signal generated by the oximetry sensor and can be monitored, so that the system performs the measurement without pain and shows the value of the glucose level accurately, being of immense help to diabetic patients who need to control their glucose several times a day. Through the development of the system, it was observed that the system works in the best way, when comparing the glucose level measurement with other conventional glucometer equipment, a relative error of 4.786% was obtained, being an accepted error because it is close to the real value of the glucose level in the blood. Keywords-- COVID-19, Diabetes, Microcontrollers, Oximetry sensor, Photoplestimographic signal.
COVID19 has left a crisis in the economy around the world, being a highly contagious virus and not having adequate control, it spread through many countries, which is why it was declared a pandemic on March 11th , 2020, by the World Organization of health (WHO). Until the beginning of May 2021, more than 153 million people have been infected and it has caused more than 3.2 million deaths around the world. In Peru, the first case was confirmed on March 6th, 2020, with the number of cases rapidly increasing and the first fatalities appearing on March 19 (three on the same day) and two in the following days. With this, COVID19 made us see how in our country the health system was not prepared to face a problem of such magnitude, therefore, naked the terrible health situation in Peru. In view of this problem, in this article the design of a body temperature measurement system applied to the health center staff was carried out, in such a way that it measures the body temperature of each person who enters the health center, with this, we would have greater control and in addition to helping to avoid spreading the virus that currently continues in our environment. Through the design of the system, it was observed that the system worked in the best way by making the personnel in charge aware of the measurements made by the system.

Ante el anuncio de la llegada inminente de la cuarta ola en nuestro país, se viene presentando casos de pobladores que muestran reticencia y rechazo a la vacuna, poniendo en riesgo su salud y la de las personas que lo rodean. El enfermero con su ciencia del cuidado y la revisión de las mejores practicas basadas en la evidencia, deben implementar acciones de salud que tengan el soporte de los medios de comunicación para así lograr la meta de inmunizar a casi toda la población.
The hectic lifestyle of the human nowadays, makes them prone to have an unbalanced diet, which consists of mostly processed foods, for example: snacks, soft drinks, fried foods, among others. In the following paper, the importance of controlling the type 1 diabetes that occurs mostly in infants and adolescents will be focus, according to the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO), less than 10% correspond to this type, which until this 21st century, there is no cure, but it is possible to have strict control so that these patients could have a better quality of life. It will focus on the control of a balanced diet and medications in which the patient is prescribed by their specialist doctor. This procedure will be done through the development of a mobile app, which is linked to a database in the hospital that the patient may be treating or doing its control, so the doctor can also have a better diagnosis and control if the patient is following with the requirements of its diet and doses of medications that doctor has been prescribing, all this data storage will be done through the mobile application developed on Android, where the patient will have a detailed schedule of their diet, glucose tests to be done and the prescription of the insulin dose
In this research we have seen that in Peru there is a large number of overweight people in a range that exceeds at least 30% depending on the age range, between 20 and 29 years there is 30.40% overweight, between 30 and 39 years there is 43.70% overweight, between 40 and 49 years there is 46.80% overweight, Between 50 and 59 years old there is a 43.30% of overweight and from 60 years old onwards there is a 38.50% of overweight, that is why we have proposed a prototype of a mobile application, whose main function is to help through the interaction of chatbots technology to have better control over their feeding and physical The development of the application will be done with an agile methodology, using the Scrum framework and the Balsamiq Mockup tool that will help us to design the prototypes of each module of the application. In the case of the study the requirements were made, and the planning of each sprint to carry out the application in a determined time. As a result, the design of the application is shown with modules to register users, register their weight and height to calculate their Body Mass Index (BMI), a section to interact in a chat to make any consultation, and finally a list of recipes with healthy dishes. This application will be very useful for all people who want to improve their health since it is not only for aesthetics, but also to prevent fatal diseases at an early age. Keywords— Chatbots, Design, Mobile Application, Overweight.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
